Is fluctuation in tip swelling normal after 6 months from surgery date?

I had a lot of swelling and a bulbous tip after surgery (approx. 5 months after) and my surgeon injected a steroid shot to reduce inflammation in the tip. After 48 hours I saw a huge difference, but I have become hyper focused on it to make sure it doesn’t swell up like before. I feel that I notice the amount of swelling is different each day. Is that normal? Are the fluctuations going to decrease over time? I have thick skin so I know it takes 9-12 months to see final results
